• Protection and Control Project Engineer for a major offshore wind in Scotland.
• Provide protection and control engineering support across multiple projects, by assessing and defining the technical scope requirements during development phases, before evaluating third-party detailed designs as the project moves into delivery, predominantly panel and scheme designs.
• Configure protection and control equipment according to the application and scheme requirements, including the calculation and preparation of protection settings.
• Ideally, candidates will be experienced in both scheme design and setting preparation; however, we also welcome applications from individuals with expertise in either area.

• Take responsibility for delivering required outputs to programme and participate in the development of our increasing digital design capabilities and scheme standardisation works.

• A minimum of HNC-level qualification in Electrical Engineering.
• Demonstrable experience and skills in transmission protection and control application specification, panel and scheme design, as well as the skills to calculate protection settings for implementation.
• The ability to demonstrate engineering diligence and the confidence to technically assess problems and critically assess a range of solutions.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly and concisely to support informed decision-making by project and technical leaders.
